Hi everyone, we're still very new here and have loads of questions, so I hope you don't mind us asking them!
Firstly, I am not sure about worming. Pickle was wormed at 3,6,9 and 12 weeks, but I can't remember when the next session should be, and also thereafter how often it should take place. Any advice?
Secondly, we are able to go on our first proper walk tomorrow - hooray! Should we use his collar (which he is happy with and wears all the time) or his harness (which he's not too keen on, but at least he wont choke when he pulls!) Any thoughts?
Thirdly, does anyone have any advice on neutering? Pickle's breeder said it probably would not be necessary, as he's from a very good-natured stock, and should not be aggressive. But as the 'humping' has started already(!) I wondered what other people's thoughts were on this? We dont plan to show him, but I am a little worried about him becoming fat and curly if we get him snipped!
Finally, does anyone else have a cocker who when he has a drink, finishes by collecting a huge mouthful of water and then bumbles around the house slobbering it everywhere? Makes me laugh so much, but I just can't get his reasoning for doing this! Thank goodness for wipe-clean wooden floors!
Love Emma and Pickle xx
